In this media climate, I think Vance is dangerous as fuck going forward. He will lie lie lie way more effectively than trump and no one will call him out on it.
It's really weird how Vance blames Harris for everything as if she's has been an emperor. She has held a ceremonial position for the last four years. Do even the stupids believe him?
This is so stupid. Trump sold the government for parts and mismanaged a pandemic. Biden landed the plane softer than a hummingbird. Nothing else in this election matters. Disaster vs. stability. Somebody smarter than me write the talking points and make the ads.
I guess I just don't see it. Vance is smart and ambitious, but he has no rizz. And Trump is an extremely effective liar. His entire persona is complete bullshit and it always has been
Yes, the stupidest people from my high school that have decided to make political posts on FB this cycle absolutely have no idea what the VP does and basically think they're the same as the president.
Big Elon musk “free speech” aka u wanna use the n word and other hate speech without consequences all the time guy dogshit human so of course that Loser Chumbolone is posting him
Listening to NPR this morning it seems like the automation issue is a lot more important to the workers than the pay issue. That seems like a much more complicated issue to solve in the short term
I have no doubt that some executive is a piece of shit and that his bosses would generally be happy to vote Republican but I don’t think the shipping companies are incentivized to install president trade wars into office
They had no time or creativity to come up with a whole new attack plan. They literally just wrote Harris over Biden and recycled the same script. Most voters are too dumb to know it's all not true.
Ive done a number of major transformations for orgs recently and automation is always at the core of them. There’s no stopping automation, the economics are too strong. In the cases where we’ve been able to avoid major workforce reductions, the workers have understood automation was coming and rather than fighting it, they embrace it and we reskilled them into new areas of growth. Everybody wins and has a path forward for the future. The workers who are resistant to change get squashed, it’s usually the ones who have been doing the same job for decades and don’t want to learn something new. in this case, they can’t win the no automation battle as the financial hit of that would be far worse than any compensation increases, they need to get leadership to build a 5-10 year technology roadmap and assess the labor impacts and find ways of reskilling those employees.
They were trying to bait Tim hard on this point. I am sure the second he said she doesn’t have any power they were going to attack all the good things the dems say she has done. Good restraint.
They're trying to make her thread the needle, in essence. She can't come out and say she had no power to do anything being the VP while still taking credit for the good things that happened under this administration. Their game plan is to make Kamala take credit for the bad if she's going to take credit for the good. Also their voters are dumb AF and will believe anything
I don’t agree with him, he’s espousing similar conspiratorial nonsense some on here were flirting with regarding a purposeful attempt to influence the election. So, if you don’t mind engaging seriously I’m genuinely curious where you stand on this. Aside from the ILA having an extremely problematic representative heading the union, who is off-putting in interviews and has questionable character based on his personal associations (all things I wholeheartedly agree with you on) - I assume that doesn’t automatically negate the validity of the actual worker’s demands, interests - do you support their strike? And why or why not? That wasn’t the point I was trying to make, but did you get a chance to read any of that port automation report by the ITF? The first couple of pages have their broad conclusions on the subject. If you or Lyrtch have any links/data supporting the obvious benefits of automation I’d like to read it.
This is correct. They would probably experience a significant demand drop for containers with further tariffs and a not insignificant amount of their comp, if I’m not mistaken, includes container throughput bonuses.
I’m gonna keep saying this into the abyss until this happens or Harris loses. Biden better release docs and info on some of these scuttled federal cases against Trump. Docs case was allegedly the easiest for the public to grasp. Cannon ensures nothing will happen pre election and there’s zero accountability if Trump wins. release that shit in October!
Haven’t had a chance to do more than glance at the exec sum but appreciate the post and will look at it more. My immediate impression - probably ignorant! - is that 1) I would never argue that business leaders are infalliable but it’s tough to envision a desire to invest so heavily in processes that are ultimately less efficient and cost-effective; 2) past analysis inherently can’t account for future technology changes and I think labor and management really ought to start thinking about a world with widespread adoption of driverless vehicles; and (this is the really ignorant one) 3) US ports haven’t adopted automation to the degree that others have and to the extent that drives some of the analysis that more automation isn’t necessarily better, there may be a lot of other variables at play in explaining why our shit moves at a different rate than more automated ports.
I’m well documented as being pro labor but it’s obvious what this guy is doing and you’d have to be blind not to see it. I hope they get their raises but this guy is very fucking clearly trying to hand that orange cocksucker the election. Don’t be naive, I support higher wages. I will never support going on strike to usher in a fascist white nationalist dictatorship they’re very clearly not negotiating in good faith and had no intention of doing anything other than striking
Ah, my bad, I was initially conflating different sentiments shared on here (and elsewhere) - the reactions to their pay vs the opportunistic election influence theories. It definitely makes more sense to me now. Especially when you consider O’Brien’s seemingly unnecessary statement yesterday… man, they are really are some rat fucks. I got a little tight seeing so much focus/backlash at their salaries, not realizing it was being used contextually as evidence to support the assertion that bad actors are attempting to influence the election. I saw some neolib elitist takes on other sm that seemed wholly resentful of their salaries and assumed similar criticisms were being made here. Mea culpa.
Assuming this is sarcasm, nearly Every executive or billionaire would have their bottom lines fucked by mass deportation
They generally tend to be non responsive to lots of things. Mainly due to decades of being vilified and living in fear.
Actually it’s way more Embarrassing, he lost 100 billion so he could force libs to read Nazi Shit and they’ve actively rejected only Driving him more Insane
When you go to WashingtonPost it just says “Walz struggles” in big bold letters at the top. Love the media.
